• Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S E Performance• Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Coupe• Audi RS Q8 Performance
We lined them up for:• Best of 3 1/2 mile drag races• Roll race showdown from 50 km/h
But the real story?It starts AFTER the races were supposed to end…
Out of nowhere, The Chinooks show up, and this time they brought monsters.
• Modified Audi RS6 Avant with 850+ HP• Modified AMG GLC63 S V8 with 900+ HP
What started as a luxury SUV comparison instantly turns into a full blown ambush.Now it’s 2 vs 1 in 1/2 mile drag races against each SUV.
• Can the Cayenne Turbo GT defend Porsche pride?• Is the hybrid AMG really faster than the V8 legend?• Can the RSQ8 Performance survive against fully built monsters?• And which setup dominates the runway once the modified cars arrive?
